I have gotten a warning, so I'm sure now I'm put on a list. This is a warning chess.com is wrong about, or actually encouraged. At the beginning of a game, you have an option to "abort". It's an actual button that must be clicked and was actually programmed and installed. I pressed abort a game with a person whom I didn't want to play. I clicked abort because that's  an option which I believed was allowed. Now I get messages about reprimands, restrictions, and fair play policy. 

If you don't want a person to abort a game take it off. If you delete or hinder my account fine. 

Don't try to intimidate a player following your set guidines. Go after the actual players which have more than one about every 6 months.

There are some legitimate circumstances which force players to abort. (e.g. Your mom calls you up to dinner.)

If you only use it very occasionally, you won't have a problem.

Please read the other 87 threads on Fair Play policy.

If you get a warning I'm sure you must have done it more often than just once or twice!

 

It happened to myself a couple of times (just started a game, phone rang, thought I could still finish the game if it was just a short call, then I forgot about the game), when I hung up and realized I was still in the game, the time was either long up or I just had like 20 seconds left, then I obviously surrendered. I only play 3 minute games.

Warnings are given even the first time you abort, even if you made the first move and our opponent never responded. I've received a few myself.  I'm not sure how many you need before some action is taken, but the warning is more or less there to tell you that you've just added one more instance to the pool of instances. It's automatic and certainly nothing personal.

Just don't worry about it, unless you do it all the time.
